Team: 83 cents. 

That’s how much on average a woman is paid in the U.S. for every $1 a man makes.

And team, the pay gap for women of color is far worse:

  • Black women are paid on average 64 cents for every $1 a man makes;
  • Native American women make 58 cents on average;
  • And Hispanic women make 54 cents compared to white, non-Hispanic men in the workforce.

That’s why today, we celebrate Equal Pay Day — the day in the new year that a woman must work until in order to make the same amount of money a man earned on average during the last calendar year. 

We’re joining the national conversation today with action. Will you join us by standing up for equal pay for all women today?

SIGN ON: DEMAND EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN →

We’ve dedicated ourselves to fueling ballot measure campaigns across the country that work toward economic fairness for all. That means livable wages for everyone. 

We’ve won campaigns in 8 states that have brought higher wages to workers and, team, we’re just getting started. 

That’s why, as we celebrate Equal Pay Day today, we’re asking you to join the conversation by taking action: Sign our petition and demand fair and equal wages for women!
